RELATED APPLICATION

This application is a national stage entry of PCT/CN2014/088492, filed Oct. 13, 2014 which claims priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 201310488487, filed Oct. 17, 2013, which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to a magnetic resin compound, specifically to a magnetic resin compound that can be used as a magnetic nano anti-wear additive in a lubricating oil and a method for preparing the magnetic resin compound, and in particular, to a magnetic polyamido-amine compound and a method for preparing the magnetic polyamidoamine compound.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In recent years, with the all-round upgrading of industrial products, especially automatic industrial products, there is an increasing demand for the performance of a lubricant. Newly enacted environment protection laws and regulations have put forward strict restrictions on the using amount of a lubricating oil additive containing sulfur, phosphor, or chorine. At present, conventional anti-wear agents for lubricating oils include sulfur-based anti-wear agents (e.g., sulfurized alkenes, vulcanized esters, and vulcanized oils), phosphorous-based anti-wear agents (e.g., phosphates, phosphites, and alkyl phosphonates), halogen-based anti-wear agents (chlorinated paraffins, chlorohydrocarbons, and chlorinated fatty acids), organic metal anti-wear agents (lead naphthenates and dialkyldithiophosphates (ZnDDP)), etc.

With the rapid development of modern industry, and the constant improvement of people's health consciousness and their demands for the environment, it will be increasingly difficult for theses conventional anti-wear agents to satisfy harsh operating conditions and the requirements generated in the development of times. For instance, use of chlorine-based anti-wear agents, due to the toxicity thereof, has already been prohibited in some regions, such as the U.S. and Western Europe. Lead naphthenate is also being eliminated gradually due to issues of ecology and toxicity. Use of sulfur- and phosphorous-based anti-wear agents and ZnDDP, have already been internationally limited because the phosphorous or sulfur contained therein would poison a three-way catalyst in an exhaust gas converter, affect measurement accuracy of an oxygen sensor, and produce toxicity to the ecological environment.

It is exactly these enormous challenges confronted by conventional anti-wear agents for lubricating oils that have brought forth a research hotspot into nanomaterials as anti-wear agents for lubricating oils. Nanomaterials are new materials developed since the mid-1980s, and have extraordinary features different from those of any microcosmic atoms, molecules, or any macroscopic substances. New lubricating materials prepared based on nanomaterials, as lubricating oil additives, achieve anti-friction and anti-wear functions based on the characteristics of the nanoparticles per se, and contribute to tribology performance in a different manner from conventional lubricating oil additives which take advantages of structural features thereof to achieve anti-friction and anti-wear functions. Due to small granularity of nanoparticles, they get to a friction surface more easily, which facilitates formation of a thicker surface film. The surfaces of a friction pair can thus be better separated, thereby improving anti-friction and anti-wear effects.

A dendrimer is a highly branched three-dimensional molecule having a rather regular and controllable structure, and a large number of functional end groups. The concept of synthesizing dendrimers through gradual repetition was first reported by Vogtle et al. in 1978, followed by actual synthesis of dendrimers by the Tomalia group. Since then, dendrimers have become scientists' focus of attention. The molecule per se is nano-scaled, and the molecular weight distribution thereof can reach monodispersity, and meanwhile, a dendrimer has amino functional groups that increase geometrically and can be readily modified on a surface thereof. These structural features render it possible to effectively disperse the dendrimer in a lubricating oil, thus satisfying basic requirements of a nano additive for lubricating oils. However, a dendrimer used as an anti-wear additive for lubricating oils has not yet been reported so far.

The magnetic dendrimer compounds of the present disclosure have the following advantages.

1) Targeting Effects

Magnetism of the magnetic dendrimer compound will not be weakened by addition of a dendrimer compound. A vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) is used to perform magnetic hysteresis loop analysis on the Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles and the Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoscale dendrimer compound, whereby no significant reduction in saturation magnetization of the two has been discerned. As can be seen, the magnetic dendrimer compound as prepared has relatively strong magnetism. An oil product comprising the magnetic dendrimer compound of the present disclosure can reach a wear portion accurately and rapidly, and form a protection oil film on the surface of a friction pair. Therefore, the magnetic dendrimer compound has wear targeting effects.

2) Nano Repairing Effects

The core-shell Fe₃O₄&SiO₂ magnetic nanoparticles are surface modified to prepare the magnetic dendrimer compound. Since the core (i.e., Fe₃O₄&SiO₂) and the surface modifier (i.e., the dendrimer compound) are both nano sized (1-100 nm), the magnetic particle dendrimer compound prepared should be nanosized also. A transmission electronmicroscope is used to perform particle size analysis on the fifth generation magnetic dendrimer compound. The particle size of the nanoscale dendrimer compound is preferably about 30 nm. An oil product comprising the nanodendrimer compound of the present disclosure has repairing effects on the surface of a worn friction pair.

3) Fine Oil Solubility

The magnetic dendrimer compound of the present disclosure has fine solubility in a base oil, and can be dissolved in base oils or synthetic oils I, II, III, and IV. This is because the dendrimer compound of the present disclosure has a lipophilic group such as a long-chain alkyl group in an end thereof.

4) Excellent Anti-Wear Performance and Superior Extreme Pressure Performance

The magnetic dendrimer compound of the present disclosure, as an anti-wear additive, can be added into a lubricant, such as an engine lubricant, to exhibit superior anti-wear performance. For example, the fifth generation magnetic polyamidoamine compound can be dissolved into a base oil of 100 N, and the resulting mixture is tested with an SRV multi-functional friction-wear tester for anti-wear performance thereof. As the load increases, the friction coefficient slightly decreases and becomes stable around 0.119. This is because an oil film on a surface of the friction pair is formed gradually and becomes stable. As can be indicated, the fifth generation magnetic polyamidoamine compound has excellent anti-wear performance. In addition to formation of an oil film on the surface of an object, because the magnetic dendrimer compound is in the form of nanoscale particles, it can also be filled into pits or scratches in a surface of the object. The pits and scratches can thus be filled up, thereby repairing the surface of the object. Meanwhile, a lubricant comprising the magnetic dendrimer compound of the present disclosure also have effects of cooling the surface of the object and sealing, as well as superior extreme pressure performance.

5) Greenness and Environmental Friendliness

The magnetic dendrimer compound of the present disclosure obviously does not contain harmful element of S, P, Cl, Pb, or the like, and therefore will not cause any damage to the environment when being added in any lubricants as an additive, such as an anti-wear additive.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The present disclosure will be explained in detail with reference to the examples and accompany drawings. However, the scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the following examples.

In the present disclosure, a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) was used to perform magnetic hysteresis loop analysis on Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles and a magnetic polyamidoamine compound (G5, m=12). FIG. 2 shows specific saturation magnetization of a fifth generation magnetic polyamidoamine compound was 58.5 emu/g, which was not significantly reduced as compared with that of pure Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. As can be seen, the magnetic polyamidoamine compound as prepared had relatively strong magnetism.

A transmission electronmicroscope was used to perform particle size analysis on the fifth generation magnetic polyamidoamine compound. FIG. 3 indicates that the particle size of the fifth generation magnetic polyamidoamine compound was about 30 nm.

An SRV multi-functional friction-wear tester was used to test a lubricant comprising the nanoscale polyamidoamine compound of the present disclosure. The pattern of a friction pair pattern comprising a ball and a disk was used. The test was performed under a frequency of 50 Hz, a temperature of 50° C., and gradiently increasing pressures from 50 N in the beginning, 100 N in two minutes, so on and so forth, to 2,000 N in the end (or till the friction coefficient reaches 0.3).

In the present disclosure, the contents of Fe and/or Ni as well as Si in the lubricant were tested in accordance with the method as prescribed in the standards of ASTM D5185.

Distribution coefficient was an attached parameter determined in gel chromatography. The closer the parameter to 1 is, the more homogeneous the molecular distribution is.

EXAMPLE 1

Preparation of a magnetic polyamidoamine compound (n=0, m=12) with Fe₃O₄&SiO₂ as its core.

(1) A 0.1 mol/L FeCl₂.4H₂O solution and a 0.2 mol/L FeCl₃.6H₂O solution with a volume ratio of 2:1 therebetween were added into a first container, which was placed into an ultrasonic reactor at (30±1)° C. A 0.1 mol/L NaOH solution was added dropwise under ultrasound, until the resulting solution had a pH value of 12. Magnetic field was used to separate magnetic particles. Deionized water was used to wash the magnetic particles until a washing liquid had a pH value of 7. Black Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles could thus be obtained.

(2) 18.4 g of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were weighed and dispersed into 100 mL of anhydrous ethanol, into which a few drops of oleic acid were added, followed by 10 minutes of ultrasonic dispersion. The dispersed solution was transferred to a second container, into which 20.8 g of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and 7 g of NH₃.H₂O were added, followed by 3 hours of stirring. After reactions were completed, the resulting solution was repeatedly washed with distilled water under magnetic attraction, until the solution would not turn morbid any more. A resulting precipitate was dried under vacuum at 80° C., and then porphyrized, to give the final core-shell magnetic nanoparticles of Fe₃O₄&SiO₂.

(3) 5 g of the core-shell magnetic nanoparticles of Fe₃O₄&SiO₂ were weighed and placed into a flask, in which 20 mL of a toluene solution of a silane coupling agent (KH550, 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane) at a concentrate of 10% by volume was added dropwise. Reaction was performed for 60 min at 50° C. After the temperature was lowered down to room temperature, the resulting mixture was filtered under vacuum, washed with methanol, and then dried for 12 h in a vacuum drying oven at 70° C.

(4) 5 g of product obtained after silanization (surface modification) was placed into a flask, into which 20 mL of a methanol solution of methyl acrylate at a concentration of 30% by volume was slowly added, followed by stirring for 90 min at 60° C. After the temperature was lowered down to room temperature, the resulting mixture was filtered under vacuum, washed with methanol and then dried. 5.8 g of the resulting product was placed into a flask, into which 20 mL of a methanol solution of ethylenediamine at a concentration of 30% by volume was added. Stirring followed for 180 min at 60° C. After the temperature was lowered down to room temperature, the resulting mixture was filtered under vacuum, washed with methanol and then dried, to give magnetic nanoparticles modified by PAMAM dendrimer generation zero.

(5) 1.8 g of the obtained PAMAM dendrimer generation zero was added into 0.5 g of C₁₂H₂₅I, followed by stirring for 10 min at room temperature. A sample was placed into a microwave extraction tank, in which reaction was performed for 30 min at a microwave power of 200 W and a temperature of 50° C. After the temperature was lowered down to room temperature, suction filtration was performed under reduced pressure, followed by washing with methanol and drying, to obtain 2.1 g of magnetic polyamidoamine compound G0, i.e., PAMAM magnetic nano anti-wear agent (G0, n=0, m=12).

Test and analysis showed the molecular formula of the PAMAM magnetic nano anti-wear agent G0 is (Fe₃O₄&SiO₂)Si(OCH₃)₃(CH₂)₃N [(CH₂)₂CONH(CH₂)₂NH]₂(C₁₂H₂₅)₂, the molecular weight of which is 989.

EXAMPLE 18

A fifth generation magnetic polyamidoamine compound which has γ-Fe₂O₃&SiO₂ as its core was dissolved into a 100 N base oil and was tested for its anti-wear performance with an SRV. The results thereof were shown in FIG. 4, which indicated that as the load increased, the friction coefficient slightly decreased and became stable around 0.119. This was because an oil film on a surface of a friction pair formed gradually and became stable. As can be indicated, the fifth generation polyamidoamine compound had excellent anti-wear performance. When the load was added to be 1,100 N, the friction coefficient rose sharply. This was because the oil film on the surface of the friction pair broke and became functionless as a lubricant. However, at the same conditions, for a commonly used organic molybdenum salt, such as molybdenum dialkyldithiophosphate, the oil film on the surface of the friction pair thereof would break (see FIG. 5) when the load was increased to 800 N. This indicated that the fifth generation magnetic polyamidoamine compound had excellent extreme pressure performance.
